After thinking for a while, he asked: "Mr. Williams, I wonder how you want to cooperate with us?"
Williams is a more pragmatic official. His speech is concise and to the point.
He said: "Actually, I came here this time with two intentions for cooperation. The first one is that I hope to purchase saplings from your company in the long term, in large quantities, and I hope there will be discounts."
This first intention is what Chen Mu hopes for most.
The United States has a big list, and he knows it very well.
As long as we can get a long-term purchase order from the other party, it will be enough for Muya Forestry to grow in a short period of time.
This is a money-making business, there¡¯s nothing to say.
Williams continued: "The second intention of cooperation is that if possible, I hope that your company can establish a breeding base where we want. This will help us to obtain your cultivation conveniently and in large quantities. The saplingswell, after all, the cost of logistics is too expensive as it is now."
Seedling base?
Chen Mu thought about it and felt that the United Nations' considerations were not unfounded.
As it is now, the cost for them to obtain saplings is indeed too high.
First, it must be transported overland from the northwest.
¡°Then the saplings have to be transported by sea to where they should go.
In this process, not only the cost of transportation must be considered.
You should also consider how to maintain the saplings to prevent them from being damaged or lost during transportation.
The cost is indeed not low.
On the contrary, if we can actually establish a local sub-base as they said, then the situation will be different.
Where there is a large need for saplings, establish a nursery base there so that saplings can be obtained stably at the lowest cost. This may be the most economical approach.
Very pragmatic
This was Chen Mu¡¯s feeling after hearing Williams¡¯ second intention.
The United Nations is indeed an organization that all countries are watching. Because there is a lot of supervision, they are still more efficient in certain things and their way of thinking is more direct.
¡° However, for Chen Mu, building a base is not something that can be done easily.
With the scale of their Muya Forestry, the investment required is very large.
Firstly, it is a financial investment. If you want to maintain a nursery base abroad, the cost is definitely not small.
Secondly, it is the investment in manpower. If you want to grow seedlings, you must send people you trust to keep an eye on it. This is not something you can simply find a few people to do.
The two phases are superimposed, and the investment is actually not small.
Chen Mu thought for a while and replied: "Mr. Williams, I have no problem with your intention to purchase saplings as the first one. As long as the quantity you purchase is large enough, I will definitely give you a discount."
Chen Mu knows how much it costs to raise seedlings. His seedlings can even be sold for the price of ordinary seedlings without losing money.
Therefore, as long as the United Nations' purchasing volume is large enough and stable enough, he can lower the price a little.
Then, he continued: "As for establishing a seedling base, I don't think we have the ability to do it yet. Whether it is financial or manpower, our company is a new company and there is no way to keep up."
"If it doesn't work, just say it doesn't work. You can't just pretend to be fat."
Chen Mu understands the essence of the saying "a crying child has milk" and will not pat his chest when he hears something. This does not conform to the principles of economics.
If people want convenience, he immediately provides convenience. The cost here is very stupid and naive.
????????????????????????????????????????????????? What if one day the company shrinks, where will these efforts be made up?
Of course, the credibility of an organization as large as the United Nations should still be guaranteed.
But Chen Mu still feels that he cannot eat what he is not capable of eating, so he should be conservative and take his time. Maybe in a year or two, Muya Forestry will become bigger, and some things will fall into place naturally and become easy. .
Hearing what Chen Mu said, Williams said: "Chen Mu, if you are willing, we can provide you with low-interest loan channels to solve your financial pressure."
Provide low-interest loans?
Chen Mu didn¡¯t expect that people would be willing to provide loans.He seemed quite sincere, so he asked, "Mr. Williams, is the loan provided by your organization under the United Nations flag?"
Although he was not very clear about the structure of the United Nations, when he watched TV before, there were always news such as "a certain United Nations organization provides loans", which made him very curious and felt that he seemed to have enjoyed a lot of care and attention. preferential treatment.
Williams shook his head and said: "No, those who provide loans are also our partners. As far as the loan is concerned, you are directly connected with them."
"Partner?"
Chen Mu became a little wary and asked: "What kind of partner is it? Can you tell me what kind of organization it is?"
Williams replied: "It is a robot company from the Silent Country. One of their very famous products is an apple-picking robot. After they know about your Haloxylon ammodendron seedlings, they are willing to provide you with a loan." If you go abroad to establish a nursery base, the interest rate is very favorable."
Chen Mu thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Thank you, Mr. Williams, the loan you mentioned we don't need it for the time being. As for the establishment of a seedling base, I think we can put it aside first. After all, our company has just started. It has only been established not long ago, and there are a lot of things that need to be done. We are not yet able to go abroad to establish a nursery base Well, this is not just a matter of funds."
Hearing that the so-called company that could provide low-interest loans was from the Country of Silence, Chen Mu subconsciously refused it first.
Think about it, even in China, Muya Forestry is covered by the government at the town, city and provincial levels, and so many things have happened one after another. If this goes abroad, there will naturally be more troubles.
When he studied economics, he had learned many cases of Xia Guo¡¯s companies going abroad and being cheated. This made him feel that if he wanted to go abroad, it would be better to rely on his own strength as much as possible.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If you take even a stitch from the Silent Country Company, the troubles in the future may become infinite?
Therefore, he firmly said no.
"Chen Mu, you can think about it again. No matter when, as long as you are willing, the matter of establishing a nursery base is valid with us, and we will provide you with the greatest help and support."
After listening to Chen Mu¡¯s words, Williams thought about it and could only say this.
He felt a little regretful that he could not persuade this young man to go abroad to establish a nursery base.
¡°However, he has very rich working experience in the United Nations and knows that some things cannot be rushed. If you can¡¯t do it today, it doesn¡¯t mean you can¡¯t do it tomorrow.
So he put aside the matter of establishing a seedling base to avoid arousing Chen Mu's resentment, and instead talked about the discount for purchasing saplings.
"Mr. Williams, if the number of saplings you purchase reaches 100 million, I am willing to reduce the unit price by another quarter. This is the limit of what I can do."
Chen Mu¡¯s quote is very sincere.
The price he sold to Lobet for the ten million seedlings before was fifty cents per plant.
Now it¡¯s a quarter cheaper, that¡¯s 37.5 cents, which is the lowest price since he sold seedlings.
Of course, if the purchase quantity of the other party starts with 100 million plants, it will be tens of millions, and a discount will definitely be given.
As a white man, Williams was very good at bargaining. He pestered Chen Mu for a while, which made Chen Mu a little tired. Finally, the price was set at 37 cents, and he wiped out the 5 cents. Only then did everyone reach a consensus happily. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
